new numbers this morning. we're going to have practical advice for you from dr. jen ashton. >> not just the flu. but the whooping cough, as well. this morning, mystery solved. we track down the man in the newly-discovered photo of young princess diana. the photo that was never supposed to be public. everybody's talk about this picture in the last couple days. and true grit. the college football player who kept on playing. never missed a game, in fact. even during chemotherapy treatments. he beat cancer. last night, he led his team to the cotton bowl. coming up, the key role his mom played in all this. and first, there's a lot of news overnight. and for that, we turn to ron claiborne. >> hi, dan. hi, bianna. trying to get in sync with you. we begin with the developing story overnight. lance armstrong's lawyer is denying a report that he,

armstrong, is going to admit to doping. he has told associates and anti-doping officials he is considering publicly admitting that he used performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career. earlier this year, armstrong was stripped of his seven tour de france titles and banned from competing in the future. a powerful earthquake struck off the coast of alaska. the 7.5 magnitude quick hit about 60 miles from the city of craig, alaska. a tsunami was generated but did not pose a threat to land. the brother of al qaeda's chief has reportedly been captured in syria. published reports say that ayman al zawahiri's brother, mohammed, was captured in syria. he was encouraging fighters to join the civil war in syria. and former arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords

was in newtown, connecticut, meeting privately with the families of those killed in last month's school massacre. the visit came just days before the second anniversary of the shooting that critically injured her. and the white house released this photo on friday, the moment that president obama learned of the shooting that left 26 people dead. the president called it the worst day of his presidency. days after the republican house was blasted from preventing to help funds for hurricane sandy, a bill to do just that is headed to president obama's desk. lawmakers got $10 billion. another bill authorized, $51 billion in additional aid will come up for a vote in the house in ten days. and love was in the air in china on friday. thousands of couples across the country died the knot because of the date. in mandarin, january 4th, 2013, sounds similar to the phrase, i

will love you for all of my life. and those who got married because of the date. i got two words. [ speaking foreign language ] you know what that means? >> no. >> prenup. prenup, in mandarin. >> i thought you were romantic. >> no. >> thank you. we turn, now, to the two, shocking back-to-back stories about alcohol and airlines. in one case, passengers took matters into their own hands, going to extremes to restrain a drunk passenger. and the other case, a pilot was arrested before takeoff when someone smelled alcohol on his breath. first up, abc's lisa stark joins us from reagan national airport outside washington, with details about that pilot. good morning, lisa. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. it was just in the nick of time. this pilot was set to fly a planeload of passengers from minneapolis to new york. luckily, because of some very alert officials, that never happened.

the pilot had already passed through security at the minneapolis airport. and was waiting for an elevator, when a tsa agent, and other officers happened by and smelled what they thought was alcohol. they alerted airport police, who caught up with 48-year-old captain, just before 53 passengers would have boarded the american eagle flight to new york. police say christensen failed a preliminary alcohol breath test. he was arrested. neighbors of the pilot were shocked at the news. >> seemed to be very quiet. but he was a regular, family guy. >> reporter: it's not known what the tests showed. but the legal limit for pilots is 0.04, half the limit for drivers. and equaling roughly two drinks for an average-sized man. >> the airlines take zero tolerance of showing up with liquor in the bloom. >> reporter: one of hollywood's current hit movies, "flight,"

focuses on a drunk pilot that pulls off a miraculous crash landing. but he doesn't stay a hero for long. pilots can lose their license and get jail time. up to 15 years in extreme krass. in 2002, two america west pilots were caught on tape, partying and drinking for hours the night before their flight. the next morning, tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath. the pilots were arrested, convicted, sent to jail. as for the american flight, the airline scrambled to find a replacement pilot. passengers finally arrived in new york more than two hours late, shocked to learn then what had really happened. >> i'm feeling very unsafe. >> reporter: christensen has now been grounded, pending a full investigation. but the associated press, quoting an airline spokesman says, that he was well above the legal limit for that initial breath test, at least. dan? >> serious problems.

lisa stark, thank you. now, to another case, another case study, in the pitfalls of mixing alcohol and air travel. take a look at this picture. this is a guy strapped into his seat with duct tape. his fellow passengers say he went on a drunken rampage during an overseas flight. and they had no choice but to tie him down. i want to know who travels with duct tape. john schriffen is here. >> reporter: it seems like we've all been on a flight that would never end because the person next to you was not a considerate neighbor. what happened on this flight to iceland takes it to a new level. one passenger, who the airline has not identified, was allegedly so bad, he had to be dealt with in a special way. this is what happens when your fellow passengers have had enough. according to iceland air, a man onboard their flight thursday

from reykjavik thursday to new york's jfk, started acting up. hitting, spitting, even hitting other passengers, the whole time cursing like a storm. then, out of a scene out of "airplane," passengers took matters into their own hands, taping him in a chair. andy ellwood snapped this picture. his gut busting out. but his mouth shut. according to the blog, the began drinking the duty-free liquor onboard. the airline says, quote, he was restrained by passengers and crew. and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight. it's certainly not the first time a passenger was caught behaving badly. alec baldwin was kicked off a flight when he was playing a game on his phone and was kicked off. after this kid cut the lines aboard a plane, his teacher made

him apologize to everyone over the loud speaker, asking for forgiveness. as for this man, for the last two hours of the flight, well, he wasn't saying much of anything. upon landing at jfk, the man was met by police and taken to an area hospital to be treated for alcohol poisoning. the port authority won't confirm if this is the man they took into custody. so far, he has not been charged. dan? bianna? >> thank you. >> so many hours. now, to a major public health issue in america, the flu. it is spreading like crazy this season. new numbers from the centers for disease control shows that 41 states is showing widespread outbreak. that's up from two weeks ago. dr. jennifer ashton is here to tell us about that. >> good morning, guys. i think you need to go home after you're finished with the show, bianna. we don't have answers. we don't know why the flu this

year is so bad. we don't know how bad it will get. what we do know is that the cases of influenza or flu-like illness are picking up speed. they're gaining momentum. we do expect them to get worse before it gets better. and these are particularly bad strains this year, making people incredibly sick. >> even people who have had flu shots? >> yeah. listen, the flu vaccine is not 100% effective. it varies between 60% to 85% effective. but people who are vaccinated, if they do come down with influenza, seem to have a let severe course of the illness and a shorter course of the illness. it's not too late to get vaccinated. if you can see your doctor and get that vaccine today, it may save your life or someone else's life. >> such an important note. before we go, you were pointing out to me before the broadcast, that these new numbers out this morning are not even telling the full story most likely. >> that's right, dan. there's a lag time when patients go to a health care provider and

when the cases get reported to the cdc and when the cdc releases the numbers. it varies about one to two weeks. we're not even close to through the worst part of it. >> one important tip, stay home if you're sick. >> if you're sick and not gotten the vaccine to protect yourself and you're ill, protect others and stay home from work or school. you need to go home. >> she says she doesn't have the flu. >> we'll see about that. >> thank you very much. get the flu shot. now, to a very satisfying story, a payback in the digital age. it's about a guy whose iphone got stolen. he turned into a virtual vigilante, setting up a sting operation with an online dating site. what happened next is hilarious. tanya rivero is here. >> reporter: this is a do not try this at home story of stolen iphone retrieval. the police told this guy he was taking too big a risk, setting up a meeting with the thief. but in the end, it was the thief who got the surprise of his

life. this man used some steamy lines to lure a thief into his trap, like this one. hey, i'm here and out of the shower. it started on new year's eve when he left his iphone 4 on the cab. the next morning, he saw someone trolling for dates. >> he was using my okcupid account. so, he created a phony female profile, with a cleveland-bearing photo from the web. >> i was talking to a girl, is adding winky face emoticons. >> reporter: the thief took the bait. you wanna meet? yeah, i kind of do. will you kiss me? he coyly responded, well, i don't have a boyfriend. they made a plan to meet up at his apartment for a date. >> i followed him up the stairs.

he turns around. and basically, i confront him right here. and i put the $20 in his hand to diffuse the situation as fast as possible. but i had a hammer in my hand, just in case. >> reporter: the thief handed over the phone, took the money and ran. >> he smelled like cologne. and had a bottle of wine in his hand. >> reporter: he got the phone back. but the thief kept the wine and the cash, making us wonder if the punishment fit the crime. there's no hard feelings. as the thief ran out of the building, he called out to him, you smell nice. >> what a character. he thinks that was his cab driver. >> reporter: he does. but he doesn't have any proof. >> i see. there's a lesson there. carry $20 and a hammer. both. tanya, thank you so much. now, to the newly-revealed picture of princess diana we've been mesmerized by this week. taken right before she would become the most documented woman

in the world. looking so young and so innocent. but who is the young man with her? it was a mystery until abc's nick schifrin got down on the case and tracked the mysterious stranger. nick is with us from london. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, bianna. we pieced through every clue. we looked under every manhole. we called every contact we had. it's the biggest mystery since the loch ness monster. we think we solved it. she was just diana spencer. it was 1979. she was 17 years old, skiing in the swiss alps. diana tore her ankle tendon. but she spent a lot of time indoors with a certain silent suitor. >> i can say that the man in the picture is adam russell. >> reporter: adam russell, great grandson of a prime minister. he always liked diana. but he never told her. >> if adam russell had told her how he really felt about her, the british monarchy would be a very different monarchy than we see today. >> reporter: today, russell's a

farmer, way down here, dorset, england, where he runs this b&b. >> he traveled the world. and thought he could make a go of it with diana. only to find a friend telling him, too late. you have one rival, prince charles. >> reporter: and that's when diana became, well, the princess. the glass carriage. the dress. that train. one of the most photographed women of all-time. >> when she looked down your lane and she smiled, you know you had a great picture. >> reporter: arthur edwards was one of diana's first photographers. >> she changed the way the royal family worked. completely. she did everything her way. >> reporter: walked in mine fields. helped take the stigma out of aids. everything she did was documented. and yet, this photo disappeared, just two days after diana's engagement. "the mirror" got scared it would

offend the palace. >> that's the reason they weren't published. >> reporter: there's whiskey in the corner. a young, happy diana, whose life had been very different. >> if she had fallen for adam russell, she would be herding deer in the south of england. and someone else would be the future queen. >> reporter: now, i called russell down on his farm. he wouldn't tell me much other than confirming him in the photo. he said he looks pretty much the same today. mystery solved. dan, bianna, we're headed up to scotland to find the loch ness monster. >> we're convinced you can do anything, nick. time, now, for the forecast. and for that, as always, ginger zee. ginger, good morning. >> hey, all. it snowed in texas. that's for you, bianna. it's usually san angelo has 2.9 inches each year. yesterday and the day before, 2.8. they're getting a whole season in one day. you're seeing from brownsville, they had schools closed. and they had a lot of fun with that snow, too.

el paso had 3.1 inches. abbean, austin, an inch of snow. a funnel was reported outside of miami, just south of it, actually. you can really see it well there. funnel different from tornado. tornado touches, has debris. a funnel is just a funnel. that's what they had in miami. and the weather today will be foggy inland in south florida, especially. just south of that stationary front. showers throughout the state. 74 for tampa. 62, a lot cooler in tallahassee. another storm up in the north, will be bringing just a few inches of snow for parts of michigan, into parts of the eastern great lakes and up into parts of new england, too. not the warmth and the miami-type funnels. but on the west coast, something to note for the weekend, you get about a half-inch of rain for san francisco, and rain down to l.a., as well.

>> my first twitter photo comes from wisconsin. it is a sun pillar. that's an actual thing. i know i see your face, a little eyebrow raised there. >> what is that? >> it's light from the sun. a sun pillar. >> i'll stop asking questions now. >> and this one from california, too. if i could say jeez o. pete, i could say y'all. >> we appreciate it. moving on. emotional night at the cotton bowl between oklahoma and texas a&m. despite losing, it was a

magnificent finish for one of the sooners players who has inspired everybody, beating cancer while never missing a game this season, even as he went through chemotherapy treatments. ron is back with that story. this is a great story. >> reporter: it really is, dan. big-time college football is hard enough. imagine practicing and playing for months. and doing well in the classroom to be named an academic all-american, all the while battling cancer. that's what a young man named austin woods, big number 50, on the oklahoma sooners, did. when austin woods hit the field with his fellow oklahoma sooners for friday night's cotton bowl classic, he was fulfilling a lifelong dream. >> when i was a little kid. and it's great to be living it. >> reporter: but it almost didn't happen. earlier this year, during spring practices, woods felt something wasn't right. >> i thought it was mono. i didn't know what it was. >> reporter: late in april, the junior offensive lineman found out it was hodgkin's lymphoma, a

form of blood cancer. when he began chemotherapy, it appeared that woods would have to sit out the season. but he was determined to keep playing. >> it's up between your ears. your attitude and the heart you have. >> reporter: despite the harsh rounds of chemotherapy, which left him exhausted, woods kept coming to practice. >> one day, he'd miss a monday practice because he was in the hospital getting his chemotherapy. tuesday, he'd be out there on the practice field. >> reporter: treatment after treatment, woods charged ahead. on the field, and on his twitter feed, with progress updates like, fighters mentality, round two. six rounds of chemo down. and home stretch. all of them tagged #beatcancer50. all of his teammates fighting back. his biggest fans are his mom and dad. it was husband brother who showed him how to face down the big "c."

when she was treated for cancer 50 years ago, liz woods didn't miss a single day of work. and woods tweeted, done with chemo. thanks, everyone, for all the support, throughout all my treatments. his cancer was in remission. >> it told me a lot about myself and what attitude and the right mentality can do towards overcoming obstacles in life. >> and austin is the sooners' backup center. but he saw plenty of action in the cotton bowl. he always wanted to play since he was a little kid. the game didn't turn out so well for the sooners. they lost to texas a&m. but for austin, it was a personal triumph in his heroic fight against cancer. >> he won something bigger. >> his mom was a terrific role model. ron, thank you. coming up on the broadcast, in your face. the story behind these close-up shots. we're going to hear from the photographer who this bear very much wanted to eat. look at those teeth. >> unbelievable. also, matt damon.

"promised land" with matt damon hit theaters in late december. but already has the energy industry blasting away at it. in the film, damon plays an employee for a big corporation, trying to convince small town landowners to lease their land for flaking, controversial natural gas drilling that can lead to fortunes. >> you could be a millionaire. >> reporter: but at what cost? >> my farm is gone.

the land turned brown and died. >> reporter: now, the real-life industry is digging in. not for gas. but for a fight. calling the movie unfair. >> the movie presents an oversimplification. it doesn't do justice to the full spectrum of benefits we're seeing natural gas provides. >> reporter: one industry group is running commercials in three out of four theaters in pennsylvania, just before the movie begins playing. >> get the facts about natural gas developments. >> reporter: celebrities, have joined the campaign against fracking. >> i love my new york water. stop fracking with it. >> reporter: it's a cause that grew in momentum after the success of the award-winning 2010 documentary, "gasland." our water was good before they started drilling. when they were done, it was bad. >> reporter: back then, the industry battled back, denying potential dangers to human health. what a spokesperson did in this

interview with dan harris. >> aren't people getting very sick living near natural gas drilling operations? >> i don't know that there have. >> reporter: for their part, the makers of "promised land" say they are not taking sides in the debate. >> we wanted to make a movie about american identity. we didn't want to give answers. we wanted to start a conversation. >> some environmentalists aren't happy with "promised land" saying they don't think the movie goes far enough to criticize fracking. maybe the movie is a success in getting people talking. >> if you angered both sides, maybe you're doing something right. mark, thanks very much. let's get it to ron. with breaking news. >> breaking news out of south america. the head of the italian fashion label missoni is missing this morning. the son of the company's founder and his wife and six others onboard that flight took off on friday morning. a search will resume later this morning. president obama is expected
